Great, true story.

About a man with learning difficulties who Lou Macari appointed as Stoke City's kit man after noticing him hanging about the ground all day.

Should be on I-Player now.

Thats good to hear, I recorded it last night. Will watch it sometime this weekend. The actor who plays him is the evil nazi doctor in Captain America.

More TV should be made like this -people in the country who deserve the credit and recognition -fantastic television

-rather than the X Factor and Britains Got talent -which are f ucking arseholes getting judged by even bigger arseholes.

Edmond Dantes · 10/5/2015 8:49 pm

The dame won, Toby Jones never.

doontheroadarab · 11/5/2015 10:29 pm

Watched it today after reading this post, thanks for the heads up lads really enjoyed it

Hamiltonarab · 20/5/2015 11:44 am

Watched this during the Christmas holidays, think it was on late on Christmas day or Boxing day. Annoying when good stuff like this is tucked away, but also quite like it that I can stick the tv on late on and find golden nuggets of tv like this.

Tek · 17/2/2021 1:31 am

I realised after watching 'Marvellous' that Lou Macari was a good man.

I didn't realise at the time he was a great man. I do now.

lifesanocean · 17/2/2021 11:56 am

Seen this yesterday. What a brilliant thing to do.
